In these stones

So, I'm watching Torchwood. It's set in Cardiff, and the headquarters is underneath the WMC - Welsh Millennium Center. There were several nice long shots around the plaza, of the slate facade of the theater set with the huge windows, shaped like letters, blazing a poem into the night. Written by Gwyneth Lewis, this poem is bilingual and - my favorite thing about it - can be read straight across (if you know Welsh and English) or in two parts:

Creu Gwir In These Stones
Fel Gwydr Horizons
O Ffwrnais Awen Sing

The Welsh means

creating truth
like glass
out of the furnace of poetry

And so this can be

Creating truth in these stones
like glass, horizons
out of the furnace of poetry, sing

as well as the more usual reading

creating truth
like glass
out of the furnace of poetry
in these stones,
horizons
sing

Thanks, Torchwood, for reminding me of this - and showing it to so many more people.
